The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Owain Taggart]

Time to do a movie about the Titanic's sister ship the HMHS Britannic. Sank in 1916 after hitting a mine in WW I. Then you finish the trilogy by telling the story of the Olympic.

That's what I've been saying for the past two pages.

Yerp, my phone auto corrected to that and I didn't catch it.. I fixed it. I even researched it a little before I posted. Don'tcha luv AI?

That's cause AI always knows best!

Jim Carrey in Talks to Lead Live-Action 'The Jetsons' Movie, Colin Trevorrow to Direct | Exclusive

Jim Carrey is in talks to lead a live-action “The Jetsons” with Collin Trevorrow in talks to to direct the project, TheWrap has learned.

I feel like Jim Carrey's an odd choice for this one. I feel like Wiliam H. Macy has a much better likeness to George. And they should absolutely cast Danny Devito as Mr Spacely.

If the animated one hadn't come out in 1990, they could have created a live action one in the '90s after '94's The Flintstones.

^Huh? It predates the 1990's by 3 decades. It came out in the 1960's. So much of what inspired The Jetsons was the 60's outlook on the future. I assume you mean the animated movie rather than the TV series.

Yes, I did mean the animated film from 1990.

1990's to even mid 2000's Jim = Just right for George Jetson.

2025 Jim = Grandpa Jetson.

I figured. I do wonder what took so long for them to make a live-action movie though. I always preferred The Jetsons to the Flinstones.

"Back in my day we DROVE our cars on the ground, and we liked it!"

Or Back in my Day, we literally ran our cars with our feet... They were so sore by the end of the day that there was nothing we could Yabba Dabba Do about it!

Yarggh, take that clouds!

We did have a car in the 80's that we had used so much that the salt during the winter had caused the underneath to corrode and fall apart and near the end of its life you could see the pavement underneath as you drove. Wouldn't pass inspection these days.
